The black Library is blog dedicated to the miniature war gaming hobby, specifically the warhammer 40,000 universe and it's associated games. Mainly focussing on the modelling and painting aspect of the hobby it will also feature game reports as my miniature army's do combat on the tabletop battlefields.

Alpha Legion Lernaean Terminator Squad

I completed my Larnaean Terminator squad a short while ago, literally a couple of days after finishing them, FW dropped the pictures of the official models due to drop very soon. Either way, these were a very easy kit bash and I think they will do just fine for now, and I am sure they will mix in fine when I get the shiny new ones!

The build was simple, the Calth cataphractii bodies with FW Alpha Legion shoulder pads and legion Volkite Charger Pistol hands. For the painting, I went with a very simple scheme to match the rest of the legion as I don't personally see much flourish with Alpha's. To me they are very operator in their nature, everything has a purpose and if not, it is useless to them. I only see the main characters as having any real embellishments.

I have been into war games since the early 90's. After purchasing an MB/GW collaboration called Battle Masters for my birthday, I was hooked! A few months later I found my fathers old rtb01 marines, a few metals including terminators and a ton of fantasy, I was sucked into the universe of 40k completely. I love everything about it, but I think that it is the rich background which keeps me hooked. Warhammer is a unique thing, and limitless in its potential.
